my 05 sti does the same thing, I really notice it after I got my cat-back. The car runs fine and I think it is the turbo spooling up.

Its probably the turbine spinning... does it sound like a jet engine on a plane? Here is a good picture of the turbine..

It sounds like a high pitched tranny whine almost but from the engine (turbo i'm pretty sure). It doesn't sound like a jet in the sense of just a loud air blowing sound.
